    Sequel to Drop of Moonshine -

    Applejack receives an order from Princess Celestia, for a batch of cider prepared with a very special recipe that involves honey, yeast, and time. She's even invited to taste the special cider when it's ready. But, when Rainbow Dash finds out about the special tasting, the three mares soon have a little too much to drink. What shenanigans will unfold and how will Twilight keep a lid on things this time?

    Ah, more alcohol-related hijinks. Fun.

    Will there be a story in this sequence wherein Twilight finally gets drunk?

    Yay, more drunk ponies, i loved both the stories in this series as they are bucking hillarious. One thing that annoys me though; why dosent celestia become molestia when drunk? It would be funny and perfectly reasonable

    For added enjoyment listen to Roger Miller's  Chug-aLug,chug-a-lug make sure you get the one sung by R.M.

    I fear for the stability of the multiverse if Pinkie Pie ever gets drunk... Discord will have nothing on her!  :pinkiecrazy:

    Although, the irony would probably be that she's an angsty, sorrowful drunk.  :pinkiesad2:

    And Fluttersy, naturally, will be the angry abusive drunk.  :flutterrage:

    >>> Applejack grabbed Rainbow Dash by the tail and hauled her off the barrel.

    Ok, another important thing to remember if I ever find myself around pastel parts.  In Equestria, go to Cellestia for hooch.  I'm penning that in right next to "Pinkie Pie- text for the best drugs."

    Actually you could probably get the secrets of the universe out of Celestia while she was drunk -- all the stuff that is too dangerous for anypony to know.

    I'm not sure what to think of this fic and it's partner. It really kind of feels like there's a not very subtle abstinence/temperance-movement message behind them and it's kind of distracting. Like, that if you touch one drop of alcohol you wont be able to stop until you wake with a hangover the next day. It's sufficiently unrealistic that it makes me wonder if Pen Stroke doesn't drink. (I know it's supposed to be comedy, but I find it harder to laugh when I feel like I'm being preached at.)

    The effects of alcohol, as with most drugs, are determined as much by the social context (see the book "Observing the English" by the anthropologist Kate Fox). Although to be honest, this fact is well known to anthropologists but (at least according to Fox) nobody ever believes the anthropologists when they try and explain this. Applejack and Rainbow so it was a surprise to see them act in a similar way as Celestia.

    All it all, I have very mixed feeling about this fic.

    Edit: By which I mean, obviously you can't have a story where everypony drinks responsibly, because that's not a story. And I'm afraid don't have anything specific that I can think of that would improve matters while maintaining the same premise. Just that everything felt a little off.

    Edit the second: I think I still liked this one better than the first. Especially the early bits. I could practically feel that cold air outside and the warmth of that hot chocolate.

    You need to make a sequel where Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie get drunken.

    Seriously, try to imagine Pinkie Pie drunken. The Fourth Wall won't protect us anymore.
